Dr. God Revival is a long-form improvisational format that showcases not only the talents of the Dr. God troupe, but also the host who kicks off the comedy. Based on a suggestion from the audience, the host delivers monologues over the course of the show that serve as inspiration for a series of hilarious, interconnected scenes. Though previous Revivals in Los Angeles have included such superlative Guest Evangelists as Efren Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite_), Guillermo Diaz (_Weeds), and Julie Powell (of Julie and Julia), the most-requested and lauded host has been Matthew Lillard, who has appeared with Dr. God at the LA Improv Festival as well as in Dr. God’s Halloween Eve and Dr. God’s Christmas Shvitz.

Teenager of the Year is the best group in Chicago. Better than everyone. Waaay better. In everything. Best group, best band, sports team, restaurant, car wash. Doesn’t matter. We are the best everything. If you don’t get us, it’s your fault. The end.
